Kelly Clarkson Brilliantly Responds to Fat Shamer on Twitter

Because Kelly Clarkson is a woman on the internet–a famous one at that–trolls will try to come for her. And fail. When the singer tweeted out a nice July 4th message thanking people in service, a guy named Cliff responded, "You're fat."

"I don't obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it," Kelly told Redbook back in 2015. That same year, when conservative British media personality Katie Hopkins made headlines for criticizing Kelly on Twitter for her "carrot cake weight," she wasn't even aware of all the buzz it made.

"I'm awesome! It doesn't bother me. It's a free world. Say what you will," she told Heat magazine, "I've just never cared what people think...It's more if I'm happy and I'm confident and feeling good. That's always been my thing. And more so now, since having a family – I don't seek out any other acceptance."
